Vacation rentals with lake access in Franschhoek

We had an incredible stay at Villa Sunset Beach! From the moment we arrived, Barbara was the perfect host—so friendly and welcoming, always available to ensure we had everything we needed. The villa itself was stunning, with breathtaking beach views that were perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Our family had an amazing time, enjoying the serene atmosphere and the convenience of being so close to the beach. It was the perfect getaway for us to recharge and have fun together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend this holiday home to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat. Thank you, Barbara!

We had a wonderful stay at Sarahs AirBnb. The House is filled with love and details. The rooms and bathrooms were super clean, the kitchen provided anything you could possibly think of and enough dishes, to have friends around and not have to clean them after every meal. The beds were comfy and there was enough storage space in all 3 bedrooms. The terrace had enough space to have barbecues and just Hang out in the sun. Sarah made us feel so welcome and we would recommend this stay 100%. Thank you!!

Stunning views, Rosemarie and Eddie were extremely accommodating.

Lovely outdoor experiences from vegetable garden, through the VinYard’s, up to the dam, table Mountain View while chilling at the dam platform! The game animals were a bonus… lots of space to roam and lots of space in the house for 2 couples! Kitchen was well set up and we enjoyed dinners at home! Perfect for a 5 night stay. We also enjoyed the wine tasting at Remhoogte. Highly recommend for a Vinyard stay.

I had a wonderful relaxing three months stay with Cornel and Diane, both hosts were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble, initially problems with the DSTV which took time to correct, however Cornel was very pro active in getting it sorted. The apartment is vey spacious with a huge patio and the views are truly amazing, a good range of shops and take aways very close, I would strongly suggest having transport as to get to the apartment there is a very steep hill. Cornel and Diane are great hosts, who will be as helpful as you require, and are readily on hand to sort any possible issues. I fully recommend staying with Cornel and Diane.

Susanne’s place exceeded our expectations. Spectacular house, spectacular views and we had a wonderful time.

Our stay at Ben’s home was fantastic. The perfect home away from home near the beach and in a fantastic estate. The house was very clean and homey. I would definitely come back for another holiday here with my family.

I booked this house for guests and this is what they had to say: "The perfect ending to our trip! The house was very spacious with a breathtaking view and a beautiful garden. We really enjoyed every moment there."

We enjoyed our stay very much. Spacious areas and even though we did not make use of the honesty bar, it is a welcome addition to the accommodation. Beautiful area and we will definitely make use of it again if we travel that way again.

We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed the evening

Lovely house with a beautiful sea view and fresh air. The artistic decor and paintings made it unique. Everything was clean and well-prepared. Just note there's no elevator, so carrying heavy bags can be challenging, and the open balcony may not suit hijabi women. Overall, a great stay - thank you for hosting me.

Janine's place is stunning. All you could ask for with a nice clean room, lovely kitchenette and stunning bathroom / shower. Location is world class with a few over the golf course! Close to lovely restaurants and the sea! Thanks Janine for a world class experience.

A Wonderful Stay That Felt Like Home Most often when you book via Airbnb, the actual place can differ from what’s shown in the pictures. That wasn’t the case here. I came with my family, and we instantly felt at home—the kids absolutely loved it! The view from the apartment is stunning. You can clearly see Table Mountain, the port side, the canal, and the overall beautiful surroundings. If we get a chance to come back, we will definitely book this apartment again. Thank you for hosting us and making our stay so memorable!

Our stay was fantastic! The location is excellent—just a 10-minute walk to the V&A Waterfront, the stunning Silo Hotel, and the incredible Zeitz MOCAA museum. You can take a scenic and safe walk along the canal behind the building, though the path closes at 8 PM, after which an Uber is necessary. Fortunately, Uber is both affordable and reliable, costing around 60-70 ZAR from the V&A to the Airbnb. The unit itself is beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and highly secure. However, there were a couple of drawbacks during our stay. Unfortunately, the washing machine was out of order, which was a key amenity we were looking for. While Rest Easy provided a laundry service as an alternative, not having access to in-unit laundry was disappointing. Additionally, the mattress was extremely firm—something to consider if you prefer softer beds or have back issues. That said, Rest Easy was wonderful to deal with—responsive, accommodating, and professional. They even held our luggage for a few

Perfect apartment, with a perfect location everything you needed or could think of needing was there

The difference between owning a second home and renting it out without any idea of what it means to truly host people, and doing it as a profession, is clear. I’ve read that Malinda has 30 years of experience in hospitality, and you can see it in the attention to detail. The apartment is spotless, well-maintained, and located in a quiet and safe area. If you have any doubts, this review is here to dispel them all—go for it! It’s a pity we stayed only one night! We hope to return!

Beautiful place with a very warm welcome!

Very quiet and private but still only a short safe walk to the Main Street. We loved the location and sitting out in the evening enjoying the setting sun and then an explosion of stars overhead! The woodfired tub was fabulous and got very hot, it was enjoyed with chilled wine! We thought the cottage was exceptionally well stocked with coffee, tea etc and lots of lovely crockery, glassware etc! The guide book is the best. I have seen, I loved it and the cottage too!

What a wonderful place to stay. The marina and mountain views are amazing. The bird life as you would expect of a reserve was brilliant. African Harrier hawks, eagles and Pied kingfishers to name a few. The outdoor space is very large with access to a private pool (which was always super clean) and kayaks. The bedroom was spacious and had so much cupboard space and the walk-in shower was large. The lounge and kitchen were nicely appointed, and the wall mounted TV had all the DSTV channels. We had a fantastic stay, and we look forward to staying again. Thank you, Mark, you were a top host, and I recommend you and your lovely house highly. The sunsets finished the overall appeal off very nicely. Cheers cheers!!

The cottage was fantastic, beautiful setting with great privacy. You have a whole dam to yourself, walk in the vineyards, relax in the wood fire hot tub under the stars. No complaints, but do not plan to cook a lot of meals, the kitchen is small and washup area, we lit a braai outside and that was perfect. Definitely would recommend and return.

A Perfect Getaway in Stellenbosch We had the most wonderful stay at Mariska’s place in Stellenbosch. From start to finish, it was a truly peaceful and perfect experience. The setting is absolutely magical — waking up to a breathtaking view of Table Mountain felt like a dream. Mariska was a warm and thoughtful host, and everything was just as described (if not better!). The space was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It felt like a slice of paradise tucked away in the winelands. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to unwind and soak up the beauty of the area. We’ll definitely be back!

Franschhoek Farm Cottage was heaven on earth. Perfect place to chill and great location for visiting the wine estates around. The attention to details will make you feel right at home. The view point it’s must to visit! I will definitely recommend. Thanks again for everything.

This place is simply sublime. I wish I owned it. To say that it's well equipped is an understatement, it has all the things one needs e.g. including a egg poacher pan. The surroundings are so beautiful and we were lucky to see the pear trees were in bloom. The only criticism is that the farm activity (tractor) was going on until about 9 pm on the Friday, but it was peacful the rest of the weekend.

We really enjoyed staying at Lisa’s cottage. It is very spacious and homely. It is secluded and peaceful, but the lovely Postcards cafe is a short stroll away. Postcards cafe serves lovely food in a stunning setting. The Cottage is a short drive away from walking in the mountains, but also a short drive to the many wonderful wine estates that the Winelands have to offer. Lisa responded very quickly to messages.
